  This IS Maine. No one should leave the casco bay area without having thier picture taken on the western side of the light. Magnificent photo op at an iconic location.

  a great place to scale rocks and there's a lot of tide pools to find crabs, periwinkles and more :)

  Wonderful park for the whole family, remember to bring the kite as the breezes off the ocean make this a good location.

  Wish they had a better cellular signal. It was tough to get a Lyft.
